Chapter 2- A Dream…?
Everything…was darkness…
There was nothing…
No…light…no…feelings…nothing…
That was what Sakura Mikan felt…her happiness was sucked away…at the moment she fell through the hole, danger approached her heart fast. It was like as if she was being drowned in a lake of darkness and she couldn't free herself…
And nobody…was…there to…help…
Nobody…Nobody…Nobody…
Nobody…
"Oi, wake up."
Mikan groaned softly and opened her brown eyes to see brightness. It made her slightly dizzy. I was a while until she got use to the light and she got up, moaning in pain.
"…Why does my back hurt…?" She muttered. "What happened…?"
"I should be the one to ask that. Why did you follow me?" A familiar voice hit Mikan's ears. She looked up in surprise and confusion to meet a shocking sight.
"Huh?"
She twitched in sock to see Ruka sitting across from her, an annoyed look on his face and his bunny ears twitching with annoyance. He looked…kawaii…
She then reached forward and grabbed the ears, catching the boy off-guard. "H-Hey, what're you doing?" He cried in slight pain and anger.
"…T-They're…real…" Mikan mutter and letting go, shocked. The Ruka look-alike glared at her.
"Oi, girl, I don't know who you are and why you just grabbed my ears…but let me say that you need to go back! This world isn't good for your kind! You can't get replaced like us!" The Ruka look-alike said with him standing up and turning his back to her. He looked back for a moment. "Be careful when going back to your world…this place isn't as safe as the other…"
Mikan watched as the Ruka look-alike walked away when she heard a rustling behind her. She turned around, a dark feeling approaching her heart and screamed as a dark figure leaped toward her, only to go over her head. Her eyes followed the figure who leaped to Ruka. Ruka turned, his eyes slightly wide when he was knocked over and a squeal was heard.
"Mou~ Ruka! He's being a meanie again!"
Mikan stared in shock, not over the fact that the figure scared her and knocked Ruka look-alike but the fact that the person looked exactly like Natsume's little sister, Hyuuga Aoi!
"A-Aoi-chan!" Mikan cried. The Aoi look-alike turned to look at Mikan, her eyes shining with curiosity. It was there that Mikan could see what she wore. Aoi wore a red and black long maid-like dress with a white apron with the design of red hearts on the left corner. She also wore a red and black pendant in the shape of a heart with the letter A.
"Who's your friend Ruka? Why are you with a girl? Wait…you're cheating on Hota-"
"I WAS NEVER WITH HER!" Ruka cried, his face burning red with embarrassment. He glared at Aoi. "What do you want? You're supposed to be with the Queen!"
"Well, I was bored."
Mikan and Ruka fell to the ground in an anime-like fall. Aoi just grinned happily at the two.
"Anyway, I'm Aoi, the personal maid for her majesty of the Land of Hearts! A pleasure to meet you, miss!" Aoi said, performing a curtsey to our dear Mikan who flushed with embarrassment.
"H-Hai…n-nice to meet you too Aoi-chan…eto…" Mikan shook her head and slapped her cheeks lightly to wake her up from her personal daze. "Eto, my name is Sakura Mikan! The…umm…pleasure is all…mine…?" The statement came out as a question as Mikan was completely puzzled.
Aoi laughed. "You're quite funny miss Sakura…you're first name is Sakura, I believe?"
Mikan shook her head. "No! My first name is Mikan!"
"Oh…well…" Aoi looked confused. "That's a strange way to introduce yourself…never have I ever met a person who would have stated their family name before their given name."
Mikan sweat dropped. "…Oh…" Aoi-chan…is very different from the other Aoi-chan…
Aoi then grabbed Ruka's arm. "And this is Ruka White! He's the personal guard for the inventor, Imai Hotaru and her majesty herself!" She said, pointing to the annoyed looking Ruka who merely grunted with annoyance.
Mikan giggled. "Mou~ Ruka-pyon, don't be so mean!" She said, giggling.
"Ah, that's such a kawaii nickname for Ruka! Ruka-pyon~" Aoi said happily. Ruka twitched in anger.
"Don't call me that!"
"Why not?"
"It's…weird!"
"No it's cute!"
"It's not!"
Mikan giggled as she watched the two argue. Too bad, she thought, that the others aren't here to see this…although…Ruka-pyon would freak…
"So Miss Mikan, what role do you play?"
"Eh?" Mikan looked at Aoi, who for the first time upon seeing her face, looked serious.
"Your role. Everybody who has a face must have a role, correct? Otherwise, they're pretty useless." Aoi said, smiling.
Mikan looked at Aoi. …What…?
"She doesn't have a role. She's an outsider that followed me here." Ruka said, staring at Mikan.
Aoi looked shocked. "…An…outsider…in Wonderland…? T-That's impossible! Oh, you idiot! If people find out she's here, they'll try and use her to win this battle! Why did you bring her here?" Aoi cried. She brought her hand to her pendant which in an instant glowed a bright red.
Mikan gasped as the pendant quickly changed its form and in place was a red and black gun with a red heart as the design in the middle. She quickly shot it to Ruka who dodged it with ease. Both glared long and hard at each other.
"…To bring an outsider…that's horrible! I don't care if you're my brother's friend; I will kill you here." Aoi said coldly.
This…this isn't Aoi-chan! Mikan looked at the two with panic. Aoi-chan and Ruka-pyon are like siblings! Even Ruka-pyon himself admitted that!
"If you plan to kill me, then you won't mind if I fight back, don't you?" Then the clock around Ruka's neck shined a bright white light and it changed to a golden gun and he aimed it at Aoi.
"…Aoi-chan…Ruka-pyon…" Mikan said softly, backing away from the two. The two noticed and turned to her but Mikan quickly ran.
"Miss Mikan!"
Mikan ignored the call and continued on forward. Nothing made sense…why would Ruka and Aoi fight was the first thing that was in her head. They were good, she reasoned, so why would they fight?
"…Why…do I always get lost…?" Mikan sighed in annoyance as she looked around the forest. Everything…was the same…the trees…the grass…and so yes dear readers…she is indeed lost.
"I want to wake up from this nightmare!" Mikan cried, tears threatening to fall. "Nothing is right! Everything is completely and most negatively wrong!" She cried into the empty forest. "And to make matters worse…the dress Hotaru gave me is getting dirty!"
Mikan sniffed softly and turned around to look again when she saw a tower that clearly wasn't there before. "…Okay…" She muttered softly, walking towards it.
As she walked inside, she suddenly saw…shadows…scary-looking shadows that seemed to have dark black holes in place for eyes and strange crooked grins. Their hands had long bony-like fingers that brought chills to Mikan's back.
She watched as they waited for somebody…but who were they waiting for…?
Then she saw a man walking towards the shadows and she gasped softly. It was her Uncle, Yukihira Kazumi!
They spoke softly and then the shadows handed a silver clock with a silver chain and a crack in its glass. The hands had stopped moving and it had a dark-like aura around it.
"…What could that be…?" Mikan muttered softly. But apparently, it was loud enough for Kazumi.
The shadows suddenly disappeared and Kazumi turned to her direction. Mikan quickly hid.
"…Who's there?" Kazumi called out. Mikan bit her lip, hoping that Kazumi wouldn't find her in fear of him getting angry. "If you don't come out, I'll shoot." Mikan's eyes snapped open and she inhaled and stepped out.
Kazumi stared at the girl in front of him. Her dress was slightly dirty and she had tear stains on her cheeks. He walked up to her and cupped her cheeks. The girl winced.
"…Why were you crying…?" Kazumi asked gently. Mikan looked into his gentle eyes and her lips trembled before she buried her head into his chest and cried, everything being muffled.
Kazumi gently patted her head as he looked at her.
Doki-Doki…Doki-Doki…
Kazumi froze. He felt this before…but with another…another girl…long ago… He looked down at the girl, now realizing the similarity between the girl and the other from years before.
Doki-Doki…Doki-Doki…
Her heartbeat…he can feel it…But…it was impossible…
"You're…you're…an outsider aren't you…?" He asked gently. Mikan cries stopped and she lifted her head.
"I…I don't know…I'm confused! I don't understand what's going on! Like why is Aoi-chan and Ruka-pyon fighting? They're like brothers and sisters since Ruka-pyon is best friends with Natsume!" She cried, tears falling down her pale cheeks.
Kazumi frowned.
Why on Earth would this outsider know Ruka White, Aoi Incendia and Natsume Incendia…mostly Natsume Incendia…nobody would dare befriend this boy. With the exception of Ruka White, Kazumi thought.
"…How about I take you home? How did you get here?" Kazumi asked.
"I got here by accident…" Mikan said, her hiccups subsiding. "I followed a white rabbit that was wearing a suit and a golden clock like Ruka-pyon's."
Kazumi sighed. So the girl followed Ruka White…but how he went to the other world was strange. At least there were only a few entrances to that world here.
"Come inside." Kazumi ordered softly. Mikan followed Kazumi into the tower.
Mikan sniffed every once in a while as she looked around the room. It was quite large and very similar, she thought, to the original Kazumi's office. The only difference was that there were broken clock nearly everywhere but it was stacked quite neatly.
"Um…why are there broken clocks here…?" Mikan asked timidly.
Kazumi returned with a tray. "I repair clocks." He replied, setting down the tray which consisted of tea cups and teapot. He passed one cup to Mikan who accepted it graciously.
"Arigato…" Mikan muttered before sipping the tea. She blinked and grinned. "It's delicious!"
Kazumi nodded. "Thank you…it was my brother's favorite as well…"
Mikan looked at her Uncle's look-alike. "Your brother…?"
Kazumi nodded. "Yes. Oh, and my name is Kazumi Aetas. And you are…?"
Mikan smiled. "My name is…Mikan Sakura. It's nice to meet you Kazumi-san!"
Kazumi looked at her smile, a little shocked at how similar these two were… "You know…you remind me of another…from a long time ago though…"
Mikan nodded slowly, a yawn escaping her lips. "…Oh…I'm sorry…I…I'm starting to feel sleepy…" She muttered. Kazumi nodded. Mikan let out another yawn, her eyelids slowly falling over her eyes.
"…Perhaps…you should sleep…Mikan…"
"…But…I…I…" Darkness fell upon our dear tangerine.
"…kan…Mikan…Mikan…MIKAN!"
Our little brunette's eyes shot open and she shouted in surprise and quickly stood up, her ears hurt from the loud shout and her heart beating rapidly.
"About time you woke up Polka." Mikan turned and her eyes widened in surprise. There before her were her dear friends: Hotaru, Ruka, Koko, Sumire, Anna, Nonoko and…Natsume…
Mikan then turned her attention to Ruka who still had his bunny ears. She stared at him, afraid that the clock he held would turn into a gun. She then reached over and grabbed his bunny ears.
"Ah! S-Sakura, what're you doing?" Ruka asked as Mikan pulled on the ears which then came off.
"…Oh…they're fake…"
"Of course they're fake you baka!" Sumire cried, tears appearing considering Mikan had just touched the bunny ears of her dear Ruka when she had been wanting to do that the whole night.
Hotaru looked at Mikan. "Why did you think they were real?" She asked.
Mikan frowned. "Nothing…just a strange dream…I must've fell asleep…"
"At least you did in your room. If it was anywhere else, then perverts would get to you…" Hotaru mumbled.
Natsume just stared at Mikan. The bad feeling, he realized, was gone but only slightly. It was still there…but subsided…and hopefully it leaves…
"EH!" Natsume looked at Mikan who looked upset and horrified. "I missed the entire party? NO!" She cried, tears falling. Natsume sweat dropped at the girl's stupidity.
Meanwhile Koko frowned.
Hopefully no other outsider comes into Wonderland.
Koko looked out the window of Mikan's Special Star Rank room. Who, he thought, could that be? Wonderland…he looked down, hoping that the war had already ended.
But…it hasn't…
